Thirtieth Sunday In Ordinary Time 3

Family ConnecAon

In the family, one some%mes observes a level of

compe%%on between children for parent aIen%on,

for acknowledgement of their abili%es. Somehow,

children seem to internalize that the aIen%on given

to one member of the family diminishes the aIen-

%on given to another. In this way, children can o5en

sound like the Pharisee in Jesus' parable. Parents

who provide con%nual reminders to their children

that they are loved for who they are, not for what

they do, help children develop a healthy spirituality.

As a family, talk about what it means to compare

oneself to another. Discuss whether it is helpful to

compare oneself to another. In what ways might this

be posi%ve? (when it mo%vates one to use one's tal-

ents) In what circumstances might this be unhelpful?

(when it proves discouraging, when it prevents one

from valuing the abili%es of another)

As a family, read today's Gospel, Luke 18:9-14. Dis-

cuss: What was wrong about the prayer of the Phari-

see? How can we emulate the prayer of the tax col-

lector?

Pray together as a family in thanksgiving for the

blessing that is each member of your family. Pray

that your family will be free from unhealthy compe%-

%on. Pray in thanksgiving that God's love for us is

uncondi%onal.

First Reading

Sirach 35:12-14,16-18

God hears the prayer of the poor.

Responsorial Psalm

Psalm 34:2-3,17-18,19, 23

The Lord hears and answers the cry of the poor.

Second Reading

2 Timothy 4:6-8,16-18

Paul perseveres in faith, confident that God will res-

cue him.

Gospel Reading

Luke 18:9-14

Jesus tells the parable of the proud Pharisee who

prayed from his self-importance and the tax collec-

tor who prayed humbly.

Background on the Gospel Reading

The second parable that Jesus tells in Luke 18 ad-

dresses aStude in prayer. In contras%ng the prayer

of the Pharisee with the prayer of the tax collector,

Jesus teaches his disciples to pray in humility before

God. Jesus again surprises his listeners by showing

the tax collector as the example of faith, rather than

the Pharisee. Remember that Pharisees were mem-

bers of a sect of Judaism ac%ve in Jesus' %me. They

taught an oral interpreta%on of the Law of Moses as

the basis for Jewish piety. If anyone would be a mod-

el for prayer, a Pharisee was a likely candidate. In

contrast, Jesus offers the tax collector as a model for

prayer. Tax collectors were collaborators with the

Roman authori%es in a system that allowed the tax

collectors to line their own pockets by charging in

excess of the defined taxes. Yet, in this parable, Je-

sus offers the humility of the tax collector as a model

for the prayer of a disciple. The parable reminds us

that when we pray, we must remember our need for

God in our lives. If we are too full of ourselves, there

is too liIle room for God's grace to work in us. CollecAon for the Weekend: of Oct. 19 & 20
